Chapter 2217 The Price Heatsend Royal Family Paid

"I surrender," the Southern princess waved the white flag without any hesitation. She knew better than to clash horns with a stubborn old bull still in its prime.

Seeing the Southern Princess surrender just when they thought things were getting heated, the crowd sighed in unison. However, they weren't disappointed as many had already guessed this ending. All the people attending the surprise banquet knew the Southern Princess and Ruler very closely.

So, in a way, they foresaw such an ending coming from miles away. It wasn't news that Southern Princess was someone who would not personally get her hands dirty. Even if she were forced to do so, she would prefer not to leave a trace of her taking action. Though the crowd seemed to have accepted such a disappointing ending to one of the most anticipated card fights in the Card world the Southern Ruler wasn't willing. Now that he was all fired up, a win without a fight would not satisfy his fighting spirit. Besides, this fight had a greater purpose, to beat his daughter's inner demons right out of her.

Seeing her father wasn't prepared to accept her surrender, the Southern Princess telepathically reminded him, 'Father, I get that you care about the youngest but right. now you are the one hurting her by putting her in a tough spot regarding your unreasonable problem with her following proper royal etiquettes. Look at her, she doesn't look like someone enjoying the surprise banquet her loving grandpa threw for her. Don't forget why we are here!

'She wasn't enjoying it before either. My intent sense can feel she is holding her feelings back being mindful of her surroundings and actions. Learning we held a surprise banquet in honor of her naming ceremony She felt like jumping out of sheer joy. However, instead of doing just that, she suppressed her teenage girl instincts. All because you would be disappointed if she were to act like a regular teenager.

"You guys think you boomed your debut, you should ask the Royal instructor about my debut. He will have a ton of embarrassing stories of my childhood. Yet, the entire world thinks I was born a ruler. It is how it is. It isn't just us but everyone before us also went through that exact thing.

What's important is that you guys did not give up. You two did not let your failures stop you in your tracks. You kept trying and giving your best every single day. Look at you two now, you guys are the Southern region's two most capable and reliable pillars. Especially, you. Without you, the Southern region will stop functioning by dawn.

As far as your ex-husband is concerned, I don't think he was your worst mistake. I believe he was the price our Heatsend family had to pay to gain two cutest granddaughters ever. Trust me, if I could turn back time I would not change a single thing. So, don't you dare think you have brought shame to our family ever again, got it?' the Southern Ruler spoke from his heart without any calculations or lies. Because of that, his words were able to get past the darkness in his daughter's heart and reach her. It wasn't enough to erase the darkness but it was a good start.

"Today is about the youngest, the youngest member of our family. Let us not steal the spotlight from her with our pity difference, listening to her father the Southern princess's face had a subtle smile as she announced to everyone. Then, turning to her second daughter she gently pinched the cheeks of her cute daughter who looked like her entire world had come crashing down on her, and cheered her saying, "Honey, today is your day. So, for today let us not stand on ceremony and drop all the honorifics and formalities. After all, we are in the presence of family and friends. Let us enjoy the banquet and have a blast."

Seeing his words had managed to get his daughter to back down for now the

Southern Ruler was overwhelmed by joy and sense of achievement. After all, winning an argument against the Southern Princess wasn't easy even if she was his daughter.
